My question is why were you shopping for dresses?
 
Got a bike shipment today. Perfectly wrapped. Perfectly balanced. Stacked 5 wide and 3 high. Was really impressed with the way the warehouse packed these for freight travel.

Then, all of a sudden, it crumbled and fell apart when we needed it to hold strong for just a bit longer.

Couldn't figure out what happened. Looked like a great pallet. Showed promise for a little while. But, at the end of the day it just didn't get the job done.

We finally figured out why...

Wife got rear ended at a stop light in Tulsa. This happened:

That can't be good.

Yeah, I'm glad lotte wasnt there too. Amanda is OK, no issues, called insurance today and gave them the other guys info. If thats cracked/fractured steel, surely they total it?
 
Ruh roh. Glad she's alright!

If there is frame damage it is certainly possible dude. Glad she is okay
 
Glad to hear the Doc is ok, Jman!

Send Howzat a message. He knows EVERYTHING about this stuff.
 
Whoa Jman! Glad the Mrs. is ok.

If the frame is not damaged, they can probably replace/paint the sheet metal. Make sure they check the rear frame and rear end suspension if it was a hard enough hit.
 
Glad she is OK, James.

If the frame is cracked, it will more than likely be totaled.
 
Glad everyone is OK, Jman! Hope the insurance stuff goes smoothly.

What meds? Also, are you allowed to do any light PT style stuff like sitting on your heels or light walking with upper body twists?

Ibuprofen 800, Hydrocodone, and cyclobenzaprine are the scripts. The doc didn't mention being able to do any light stuff.

I envy you. I basically am going through the same thing, and I made the mistake of telling the doc I'm active and have a long drive to work and they gave me weak stuff haha.
 
Got the high-test I see.
Well, seeing what you're on, I wouldn't recommend doing anything other than a walk around the house to keep you on your feet... :alien:

Glad Amanda is ok and Lotte wasn't there.
 
Not quite three months after we got the 70" TV and I am still impressed with how much better the picture is compared to the TV's we got eight and six years ago.

Views of landscapes, overhead shots, etc., are so awesome.

Check the engine mounts too. I got rear ended once and it cracked one of my engine mounts. Every time I shifted into drive, the engine would move...



Glad everyone is ok. Wife got rear ended with Nick in the car once ... was nerve racking for sure. Accidents suck.
 
I'm happy to be back home, but I didn't want my golf school to end and to top it off, it's cold windy and snowing. Drive home was a bit sketchy in spots with drifting snow.

Every time they say wind chill on the news (something we dont here in FL), I think they are talking about THPer David Winchell, which makes me of quidditch and hitting 7 irons 200 yards.
 
We have to talk wind chill up north because that is more likely what the temperature really is. Hey its 20 degrees, but with the wind chill it feels like 5. Its fantastic.

50 is different in different areas though, depending on wind and how much moisture is in the air.
Its not that bad, I just couldnt deal with it more long term. The mundane tasks that you have to bundle up for are just awful.
